50% hit rate. I’ll take that

Same as

[shmmeee]

I think at some point i wrote each one off whilst backing the other. So I’m claiming 100%.

 

[StrettoBoy]

We were all delighted when Gykores scored 22 goals in all competitions in the 2022/23 season.

It is possible that both Wright and Simms could match that and even if they don't they are unlikely to fall short by much given that they are currently on 16 each

This is an astonishing achievement, especially when you consider that both of them - Simms in particular - had such slow starts to the season.

It augurs well for next season

 

[Tommo1993]

So pretty much nobody backed them both.

As I said in the other thread, players to score 15 or more since the start of the PL are Vik, Dublin, McSheffrey, Wilson, Clarke, McNulty, Godden, Armstrong, McGoldrick I think.

Basically a who’s who of City’s best ever strikers in the modern era. That’s the level they’re at in their first season. You have to respect it.

I don’t see why life changed in 92. Ian Wallace and Terry Gibson scored over 20 in the top flight and were the best strikers I’ve seen

 

[Martin180]

The thing with Simms was even when he wasn’t scoring he was causing defences problems and making space for others . Now he is scoring I firmly believe he will be terrific player for us in the coming seasons

Count them too if you like. It’s just an arbitrary cut off.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I cant remember my opinions early season on them both

 

[covcity4life]

Gyokores would have loved the formation too probably. I'm assuming he would play wide left in wrights position.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Simms and Wright are 3 goals away from surpassing Gyokeres’ monster performance in goal involvements (goals & assists) from last season.

It’s an area that we’ve statistically improved which was no easy feat.

I don’t think @shmmeee is much older than me and I wasn’t around in 92.

Simms and Wright is the best pair of strikers I’ve seen play for Cov.

Gyokeres and Hamer still the best two I’ve seen for City in my relatively short time as a supporter.

 

[M&B Stand]

I mean they couldn’t hit a barn door with a shovel between them before christmas.
Hardly surprising they were questioned after the dollar we’d spent.
Now its like 2 new top signings have just turned up, knocking em in like micky quinn, funny old game as they say.

Shmee was alive im sure. He doesn't strike me as a young un

I mean, let’s not get carried away. Simms has started hitting the back of the net - fantastic. But his first touch is still poor. You’re putting him and Wright ahead of, just as a few examples, Dublin and Huckerby, Keane and Rousell.

I think gyokeres is levels above what we have here today , but that doesn't mean I think they're shit , we as a team are playing differently than at any point with vik , it was literally give it to vik and see what he can do .

Vik in this team would probably be above 30 goals this season in the league

 

[Evo1883]

Gyokeres is an incredible footballer , a powerful 9 that you rarely see in the modern game anymore .

Best at city for a couple decades

Gyokeres is playing levels above Simms & Wright but I wouldn’t discount either of the two developing further.

Gyokeres got 23 in all competitions last season so let’s just appreciate that Simms & Wright both have 16 with enough to match that tally.

No i think it's great , wright is already older than vik I think .. simms not the same type of forward.

He’s older than me and I was going the 92-93 season.

He sounds very CR7-esque about his training regime/diet when others have spoken about him. Not that it always matters, as THE Ronaldo was the complete opposite.

 

[mmttww]

50% hit rate. I’ll take that

 

[Darth Robins]

So pretty much nobody backed them both.

Or the people that did know better than to bother posting positive opinions on here when everybody is shitting the bed again. We'll go through this whole cycle again in a few months with whoever we sign this summer. Time is a flat circle.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Kept saying Simms would come good,but thought we would see best of him next season.
Called Wright to f*** . He has made me eat my words after Stoke away.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

So pretty much nobody backed them both.

I did to be fair. Said they looked good on paper and knew they both come good.

 

[wingy]

Shmee was alive im sure. He doesn't strike me as a young un

Have you heard his lingo though?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I did to be fair. Said they looked good on paper and knew they both come good.

We signed them on 4 year contracts, judging them half a season in was always stupid.

It’s always the same people who seem to look silly year in, year out.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Wright should stop trying to cut onto his right so much when he’s got the opportunity to shot with his left. He’s actually pretty good with his left, as seen with the goal today, but he also wasted a fair few chances by trying to cut back when he would have had a clear shot at goal if he’d taken it on earlier on his left.

He’s developing into something very good but does have a habit of shooting when the sightline is already blocked. He’ll wait until the defender commits and then hit it straight at him. Hit one very similar against Simms yesterday.

 

[Johhny Blue]

M.R.

 

[Nuskyblue]

I backed both of them at different points.

Now they're both playing with confidence they seem to be going from strength to strength!

 

[shmmeee]

I was alive in 1992

 

[shmmeee]

Have you heard his lingo though?

Forever young me

 

[covcity4life]

I was alive in 1992

I rmemeber in 1992 thinking this window salesman was psychic. England were winning 1 nil Vs Sweden I think in euro 92 after platt scored. I was jumping on sofa happy. He goes England will lose this just you watch.

Then they did. And I was like wtf how did he know. He had gone home by then but in my eyes will always be mystical lol
